From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world.
Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a
century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some facets of life that still
resemble the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people
working in this sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely
to be employed in manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam,
which was traditionally agrarian, is transforming into an entirely different country. While
agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises
are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Vietnam have
retained many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as
friendly today as they were in the past. This is best exemplified in the way they welcome
foreigners to their unique country. Moreover, the resilience and determination of the
people of Vietnam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily
towards the development of their country.
